| 説明 | The lands were a property of the MacLeods of Assynt, but passed to the Mackenzies, and they built the house about 1660. The family were said to have held riotous parties, and soon became short of money. The house was plundered and torched in 1737, perhaps deliberately by the Mackenzies as they were in debt. The Mackenzies were forfeited after the Jacobite Rising, and the house was sold to the Earl of Sutherland in 1758. The house is said to have been burnt out again, this time by the MacRaes in 1760, and it was never restored. The ruins are said to be haunted, after one of the Mackenzies’ wild parties continued from the Saturday well into the morning of the Sabbath. The building is said to have been engulfed in flames, perhaps after being struck by lightning, roasting nearly all those inside, divine punishment, it was said, for desecrating the Sabbath. Only one man was saved, a piper who refused to play into Sunday morning. The ruins are said to be haunted by the apparition of a woman. There are also reports of eerie lights seen around Calda, in the middle of the night, making motorists think that cars are approaching, although they then do not encounter any other vehicles. |
